As much as I can’t wait for this movie, another big part of me can’t wait for it to be over so that I can focus on one YA big blockbuster franchise at a time. When this is all over, I can thus give my heart, unequivocally, to Allegiant Parts 1 & 2, thank you very much.

I’m going to pretend that I haven’t been away in say, oh, just about five months. In blog time, those months equal years. My excuse is that life caught up with me, in the form of a new job and new responsibilities. I found myself writing blog posts in my head that never came around to being realized here. But maybe taking a hiatus was what I needed to avoid total, ultimate burnout. Exhaustion is REAL ladies and gentlemen.

So, in the interim I reported on issues of diversity in the media and entertainment, caught up on all sorts of Netflix goodness (I was late on the “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” train, but I hopped on and won’t undo), sat in darkened movie theatres, and drummed up business ideas while listening to Purity Ring, Tame Impala, and Interpol stuck on repeat. I ran in the park, read Gillan Flynn novels on the subway (TWO WORDS: SHARP OBJECTS), and somehow survived Winter. Now I can come back with a renewed sense of purpose.

“Sharp Objects” will be your next television series obsession when it premieres….TRUST

So, what tickles me in the world of film, television, music and digital these days? Well, “Game of Thrones” is on fire. It’s one of the few television series these days that can leave me disgusted one moment and then shouting for joy the next. I really wish I had my own dragon children…

Then there’s “Pretty Little Liars”, which after the latest episode has left me with one crucial thought: Is Charles DiLaurentis reppin’ hard for MGTOW? Seriously. If so, then this show just went from 100 to 1000.

“Mad Max: Fury Road” is a movie on my “absolute you must-see” list for the summer. It was a more enjoyable, thrilling viewing experience compared to Avengers: Age of Ultron for the action alone. There are a slew of other movies I can’t wait for including “Dope”, “Me, Earl and the Dying Girl”, Gaspar Noe’s “Love”, “Paper Towns”, “Southpaw”, “Train Wreck”, and “Heaven Knows What” (I’m checking this out today- my body and soul are ready). Plus new Foals and Maccabees music are on the horizon and the third and final series of “My Mad Fat Diary” premieres in less than two weeks, along with the second season of “True Detective” on Father’s Day. The second half of 2015 is shaping up to be magical….

So… I’m back! Now go and binge-watch Season 3 of Orange is the New Black.

Like the title of a song or book, a movie poster is designed to both highlight the main theme/aura of the art form that it represents, and to help reel us into the magic of it overall. If done extremely well, the movie poster, album cover, or book title will have landed a place in history, acquiring legend status, like the following:

“Dear White People’s” new, official movie poster is already legendary, in its swift execution of style and the ideas and themes of the movie encapsulated in just one image that most, if not all, Black American people can relate to:

I saw this trailer last week on TV and it gave me chills. I still can’t believe Paul Walker is no longer living on this Earth. I’m not a huge action movie buff, but this trailer looks very good and I imagine would have raised Walker’s profile in the action movie genre to a higher degree.
